Soul Stars – François Cluzet, Omar Sy
What we like
- The movie is set for the most part in Paris France. You see the familiar Paris and parts that you don’t usually see
- The person with what seemed to be the least experience turned out to be the best person for the job
- How you never know quite where life will take you and how you can impact on peoples lives
Soul experience
- We often make friends or company with people that share common interests, have similar backgrounds. Philippe had the courage to trust someone that was very different from himself and seeing through the cover took a chance
To reflect on
- Antoine: These street guys have no pity.
Philippe: That’s what I want…no pity.
